🟠 SPECIAL GUEST! 🟠 - @MINHxDYNASTY - Plus $UFD Update · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

• 0:01
  Today we're joined by a very special guest, Men from Men
• 0:05
  Dynasty. He's one of the first people
• 0:07
  that I talked to when I got into the crypto world back in early
• 0:12
  December. Men, welcome to Ron's basement.
• 0:15
  It's a big honor for us to have you.
• 0:16
  How you doing? It's an honor for me to be in
• 0:19
  Ron's basement. I'm in the basement and you have
• 0:23
  blue sunny skies behind you. So I'm, I'm thinking back to
• 0:27
  like probably mid to late December, just a few days after
• 0:32
  Unicorn fart dust was created, you and I got on a live stream.
• 0:36
  We talked afterwards and about how much has changed over the
• 0:40
  last seven months. But from the very beginning, you
• 0:43
  struck me as somebody who was very knowledgeable and in my
• 0:47
  opinion, a really high quality person.
• 0:49
  So and you and I have talked a few times in the interim.
• 0:52
  So thank you for joining us. Thanks for the help and guidance
• 0:56
  that you gave me early on. And I'm really looking forward
• 1:00
  to to getting to know you a little bit better today during
• 1:02
  the live stream. Everyone, it's crazy that it's
• 1:05
  been seven months. Seven months, men.
• 1:09
  Can you believe it? Yeah.
• 1:11
  You're. That says a lot about you.
• 1:15
  Yeah, well, you know, the, the, the community's been there and
• 1:18
  they've, they've made it. You know, we've had our ups and
• 1:21
  downs, but they've made it. They made it pretty easy for me.
• 1:24
  Ron, where's the best? Where's the best way to read
• 1:28
  chat? To read chat like me.
• 1:31
  Is it Twitter? Probably yes.
• 1:34
  Twitter. Exactly.
• 1:35
  OK, OK, OK. Sounds good.
• 1:38
  Hi, everybody. I'm not everybody chatting now.
• 1:42
  Everybody please re retweet this.
• 1:45
  Get it out. You need Clippers, Ron.
• 1:48
  Clippers, what do you mean? You need people to turn these
• 1:52
  streams into clips, yeah. That's a great idea.
• 1:56
  I think some some of it does happen.
• 1:58
  And yeah. I see them.
• 1:59
  I see them a lot. Yeah, the, the, the community
• 2:03
  like is constantly coming up with new ways to I guess to get
• 2:07
  more, you know, repurpose the content and get it and get it
• 2:10
  out there. The community that you build is
• 2:12
  is incredible, so major props you there.
• 2:16
  It's a lot of hard work and before, like anything, I just
• 2:20
  want to really give you your flowers because I know in the
• 2:25
  real world, sticking with something for for seven months
• 2:28
  is is is normal for me. However, in crypto, everything
• 2:36
  is heightened, right? Everything is multiplied by
• 2:39
  many, many times. It's like Interstellar, but with
• 2:43
  time, like each day it, it seems like a long, long time.
• 2:48
  And so your tenacity and your perseverance is extremely
• 2:51
  inspiring. It's amazing what you've built
• 2:54
  together with the community. And I just want to give you your
• 2:56
  flowers because that's incredible to see.
• 2:59
  Wow, I, I, I appreciate you saying that.
• 3:02
  And, and that makes total sense to me because it's been seven
• 3:06
  months, but it feels like in some ways much shorter, but in
• 3:10
  other ways much longer, I think because everything goes 24 hours
• 3:14
  a day, seven days a week. I don't know.
• 3:16
  But yeah, what you said I'd, I completely agree with and thank
• 3:20
  you for saying that because coming from you.
• 3:22
  Wait. Yep.
• 3:23
  Oh. Sorry, sorry.
• 3:25
  That's OK. No, I was, I was reading.
• 3:28
  Wait, is my microphone ass? Is your what?
• 3:33
  It's oh damn it is bad. My is my microphone bad?
• 3:36
  Wrong. It's not horrible, but it's it
• 3:39
  could be better. I mean, we can understand you.
• 3:43
  OK, is this better? I don't think so.
• 3:46
  Shit. Dude.
• 3:48
  OK, wait. If you click on the gear wheel,
• 3:50
  you can select the microphone that you want to use.
• 3:54
  OK, is this better? I think that is better.
• 3:56
  Yes. Wait, yeah, that's better.
• 4:01
  That's way I think that is better.
• 4:02
  Better, Yes, Ron. Ron, you should have told me you
• 4:06
  don't wear. I'm glad I was reading chat.
• 4:10
  I'm glad we were too. Well, I'm, I'm just so you know,
• 4:14
  happy to see and I could understand what you were saying
• 4:17
  so. Oh, no, Ron, OK.
• 4:18
  It was taking my microphone from my phone, which is on the other
• 4:21
  side of the house. Oh no.
• 4:24
  Yeah. Oh, basically I just said I
• 4:27
  wanted to give Ron his flowers because sticking to anything for
• 4:29
  seven months is incredible. And in the normal world, that's
• 4:34
  normal, but in crypto, seven months is insane because it's
• 4:37
  like interstellar. Every day lasts for eons.
• 4:41
  So what he's done and the community that he's built
• 4:44
  together with everybody else is an amazing sight to see and it's
• 4:48
  extremely inspiring. Yeah, well, and, and again,
• 4:51
  thanks men for saying that. And it's exciting to me 'cause
• 4:54
  it's, it feels like with UFD that, you know, day by day by
• 4:58
  day, we grow a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit
• 5:02
  more. And you know, that the
• 5:05
  opportunity that we've been given thanks to the blockchain
• 5:08
  and, you know, the the being able to have this, this Unicorn
• 5:12
  fart dust situation is really almost like a gift.
• 5:15
  And that if we keep at it day by day by day, that eventually, who
• 5:21
  knows, right? I like to think that we have,
• 5:23
  you know, some great, great, great potential out of us.
• 5:28
  OK. Over the last three months,
• 5:29
  right? Yeah.
• 5:31
  What are the three? What are the three most
• 5:35
  important things that you've learned not only about crypto,
• 5:39
  but about yourself, about what you like to do, what you love to
• 5:42
  do? Right.
• 5:45
  Yeah. Go ahead.
• 5:47
  I'm sorry, what was the last thing you said that's.
• 5:48
  That's my question to you. Three things that you've
• 5:50
  learned. Three things that I've learned
• 5:53
  that there's a big benefit to sticking to things like you
• 5:56
  alluded to earlier and in that, you know, sometimes it's hard,
• 6:02
  right? Sometimes it takes, you know, I
• 6:04
  heard somebody say a few months back when motivation fails me,
• 6:08
  discipline will not in that, in that sometimes just showing up
• 6:13
  and being reliable that there's a lot of value in that.
• 6:18
  You know, the other thing that I learned, and I will say
• 6:20
  something about crypto that that really excited me was when I had
• 6:25
  the deep realization that at its real core foundation and, and I
• 6:31
  like to use this phrase, like the founding fathers set it up
• 6:34
  this way, the founding fathers of crypto and the blockchain,
• 6:38
  the crypto, I think in a on a real simple level, gives people
• 6:43
  the opportunity to be in control and, and that there's a lot of
• 6:47
  power in that. I don't think I realized that
• 6:50
  last time we talked seven months ago.
• 6:51
  I mean, I knew there was power in this community.
• 6:54
  I knew it was I was on, it felt like like UFD was something
• 6:58
  special because of what was going on with the community.
• 7:01
  But I really started to realize that like, you know, I, I like
• 7:04
  to look at things on simple terms, that on real simple
• 7:07
  terms, this is kind of a gift. Like, you know, like there's
• 7:10
  nothing really stopping what a group of people together can do
• 7:16
  within the framework of crypto. Does that is that make sense?
• 7:19
  No, it makes sense. I'm just smiling because I'm
• 7:21
  like, wow, you actually learned Like you're in it.
• 7:25
  Well, it's real, you know what I mean?
• 7:27
  It's not like BS. It's not like the Tranfi system
• 7:31
  where oh, everybody's, you know, America the land of opportunity,
• 7:34
  which it is the land of opportunity.
• 7:36
  But I think within this crypto framework, it's a real gift.
• 7:41
  And and the and the cool part about it, men.
• 7:43
  And then I'm going to stop talking because people want to
• 7:45
  hear you talk, not me. But I want to hear you talk.
• 7:48
  I don't care where people want. I'm just, yeah, I'm just
• 7:51
  kidding. But but that it that it's so
• 7:53
  simple, right? I mean, I think that I mean,
• 7:56
  one, one more thing I learned, and this is just my opinion.
• 7:59
  My observation is that it feels like maybe over the last 10
• 8:03
  years, crypto was maybe unduly complicated in some ways.
• 8:10
  And, and that if you go back to the real simple core foundation
• 8:14
  of what the blockchain and crypto really was meant to do,
• 8:18
  it's really simple and it's really exciting.
• 8:21
  And there's nothing that can stop, right.
• 8:23
  The, the like just with our, you know, focusing on UFD, the
• 8:27
  community from achieving anything that it wants to
• 8:31
  achieve. And so then, you know, yeah, I
• 8:33
  show up every day and, and I and I believe in it.
• 8:37
  So yeah. I think, I think that's the why
• 8:41
  I love crypto. So it's really awesome to hear
• 8:44
  you say those things because I, I believe in the same things,
• 8:48
  especially like ownership and control.
• 8:51
  As you said, I think blockchain enables for a better human
• 8:54
  experience, which we love the most.
• 8:57
  Like that's what I'm most passionate about.
• 9:00
  And for you to discover that yourself is really awesome to
• 9:03
  see. Yeah, I mean it it as I as I
• 9:07
  learned and I absorbed more mostly through I guess osmosis
• 9:11
  or exposure and talked to a lot of different people.
• 9:15
  You know, when I and I and I heard, you know, like this idea
• 9:19
  that, you know, I guess it's easy to say decentralization,
• 9:22
  but the idea that everybody in the world, it's not just in the
• 9:25
  United States, right? Like we've got people, I
• 9:27
  guarantee you men. And thank you to everyone who's
• 9:30
  joining us today. But we have people all over the
• 9:33
  world, right? And people and that are wealthy,
• 9:36
  people that are not wealthy and people on every corner of the
• 9:40
  plan and everybody, you know, when it, when it comes to UFD
• 9:44
  has the same opportunity as everybody else.
• 9:46
  There's no favorite. People in UFD on average are
• 9:50
  actually a lot more. Wealthy.
• 9:52
  You think so? Yeah, in soul.
• 9:55
  Yeah. So in soul and in heart.
• 9:59
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And do you think that's like
• 10:02
  from your perspective on a long term basis, do you think that's
• 10:07
  like a critical component to a successful project?
• 10:10
  Well, I mean, it starts at the top.
• 10:12
  Right. Yeah.
• 10:14
  Not that you're the top right, but you are the face, you're the
• 10:19
  leader. And I think good attracts good,
• 10:22
  right? So yeah, full, full glaze.
• 10:31
  Yeah, well, and you know, and, and people, I'll get, I'll ask
• 10:36
  your opinion on this man, because that's something I've
• 10:38
  been saying lately. Another thing that I learned,
• 10:40
  yes, what I learned, it was maybe two or three weeks ago,
• 10:44
  there were a lot, there's a lot of these utility coins out
• 10:46
  there. And people were saying, oh,
• 10:48
  what's your utility? And there were launch, launch
• 10:50
  pads being made and, and, and some people said, oh, you should
• 10:54
  start a UFD launchpad. And I was like, I don't know
• 10:57
  about that. And but what dawned on me like
• 11:00
  is that is that we're kind of the UF DS kind of different, but
• 11:05
  I think still, you know, aligns and adheres to these original
• 11:09
  crypto ethos and that, and that our community is our utility
• 11:16
  that the people that that, that that we don't.
• 11:19
  And we're very open source with, I mean, we have a number of
• 11:22
  great NFT projects. We have all these artists, we
• 11:24
  have merch, different people doing, doing different merch
• 11:28
  that we don't limit like what people can do within UFD.
• 11:33
  And then as a result, there's kind of an unlimited opportunity
• 11:37
  for utility to be made because the community has, you know,
• 11:40
  this ability to continue to grow.
• 11:42
  Does that does that make sense? It does make sense, Yeah.
• 11:46
  So I had this conversation with, I can't really say his name.
• 11:52
  He's a legend right in the world, not only in crypto, but
• 11:56
  in the world, just to put some data points, he's helped the
• 12:00
  company go from making 5 million a year to around 800 million a
• 12:04
  year. Yeah, that's crazy, right?
• 12:08
  It's like he's in charge who's the CEO of one of the biggest
• 12:10
  companies in the world, IP company.
• 12:13
  Give me our hits. He right now he's working on a
• 12:17
  couple businesses. He turned like 5 million again
• 12:22
  into around 120 million. And he talked to me and my
• 12:28
  friends about timelines and discipline.
• 12:32
  And he's looking at things in decades, Ron, decades, not years
• 12:39
  or months like we tend to do in crypto, but years, long, long
• 12:45
  years. And So what I would say is
• 12:48
  discipline is something that he really drilled into our minds.
• 12:52
  And so really understanding like what you are, it's so important.
• 12:56
  Even though there's a lot of trends or a lot of new products
• 13:00
  or new services or whatever it may be, if it doesn't fit, if
• 13:04
  it's not a fuck yes, it's a fuck no.
• 13:07
  But. I've always thought like, I know
• 13:10
  it's weird, but utility of mean points in my opinion have been
• 13:14
  how I felt when I held them. And so when I hold UFD, it's
• 13:20
  always, you know, I feel good holding it.
• 13:25
  I don't really care about the price, you know, for me
• 13:28
  personally, but I'm in a different situation than most
• 13:32
  people. But I think, yeah, I love it.
• 13:35
  I personally love it. It's what attracted me to UFD in
• 13:37
  the 1st place. I think it's what's allowed UFD
• 13:41
  to stay aware and awake to this day.
• 13:46
  And it's targeted so many amazing people in the community.
• 13:48
  So. OK.
• 13:51
  Yeah, you know. I, I, I, I agree with what you
• 13:55
  said about, you know, being able to, to put discipline in the
• 13:59
  forefront. You know, I'm 55 years old, I've
• 14:03
  got a little bit of life experience and, and when I look
• 14:06
  back, you can, you can have all the great ideas in the world.
• 14:10
  You can be the smartest guy in the world.
• 14:12
  You can be or, or woman in the world.
• 14:14
  But if you don't show up and do the work, you know, if you
• 14:17
  believe in something and you have a goal, you got to show up
• 14:21
  and do the work and, and stay, stay consistent and improve that
• 14:25
  you're, and that's what you know, some people I know are
• 14:29
  attracted to UFD. They, they know that we're
• 14:31
  reliable and we're safe, you know, as, as kind of our core
• 14:35
  foundation. But then on top of that, like
• 14:37
  you said, we're fun and we create value, I think by giving
• 14:41
  people a safe, reliable, fun place to go and be part of a of
• 14:47
  a what I think, what I'd like to think is a unique community.
• 14:51
  But yeah, I agree with you 100%, man.
• 14:53
  Discipline. You got to you got to show up.
• 14:56
  And I guess I haven't really thought about it, but to the
• 14:59
  extent that I do live stream every day, that shows I.
• 15:02
  Don't mean why you do it. What's that?
• 15:06
  I don't know how you do it. Well, I've been, I've been doing
• 15:10
  it for several years and it is crazy.
• 15:12
  It is a lot of work, but I don't know what I would do if I
• 15:16
  weren't doing it at this point, man.
• 15:17
  So I just keep, I keep doing it every day.
• 15:21
  Yeah, it's yeah, I don't for those that don't know it may
• 15:26
  like Ron makes it look easy to like people think you turn on
• 15:30
  the camera blah blah. No, there's so much back end
• 15:33
  work that goes into it. You have to pre plan the
• 15:35
  streams, you have to make sure lighting is good.
• 15:39
  You have to make sure all the technology is good, that the
• 15:41
  systems are a go. Your microphone works, dude, all
• 15:44
  these things, no matter how long you've done it, it's a lot of
• 15:47
  bells and whistles and multitasking all at once.
• 15:50
  Then Ron's giving you his full energy during this hour.
• 15:53
  After the hour, Ron's probably wiped.
• 15:56
  It's like a social battery. Ron's to poop, right?
• 16:00
  And and that's every day. So it's extremely inspiring.
• 16:04
  And again. But yeah, you're a beast, dude.
• 16:09
  Yeah, well, you know what? The community showed up for me.
• 16:12
  Men from day one created this situation.
• 16:16
  And I just feel like I'm. I'm happy to do it.
• 16:20
  And I appreciate you sharing how much work it is to do a live
• 16:23
  stream because, yeah, I mean, before I did it years back, I
• 16:26
  was like, well, these guys got it made.
• 16:28
  They just go on camera and talk for an hour and, you know,
• 16:31
  everything's hunky Dory. And no, you got to make
• 16:33
  thumbnails. You got to come up with titles
• 16:35
  and and you got to come up with the content, too.
• 16:38
  You know, I always have, believe it or not, I put together notes
• 16:41
  here for all these questions I was going to ask you and do
• 16:45
  research and, you know. So let me ask you a question,
• 16:48
  men. Yeah.
• 16:48
  Wait. Before that, thank you to
• 16:50
  everybody on YouTube and Twitter for for watching Ron.
• 16:53
  It's shout out to you guys as well.
• 16:56
  Yeah, Thank you. Thanks for thanks for saying
• 16:58
  that. Don't forget to retweet,
• 16:59
  subscribe to the channel, all that great stuff.
• 17:02
  And yeah, I was, I was talking yesterday with somebody and, you
• 17:06
  know, it's like, we're not here. I'm not here if it's not for the
• 17:10
  viewer, right? Like you and I are talking.
• 17:12
  But there's people all over the world and it's, it's, you know,
• 17:18
  it blows my mind, man. I won't go too far down this
• 17:20
  path. But, you know, I'm 55 years old.
• 17:23
  When I was 25 years old, the idea of being able to sit in
• 17:27
  your basement and, and connect and communicate with people all
• 17:30
  over the world was foreign to me.
• 17:32
  Like, sometimes I'll tell Susie, I'll say this.
• 17:35
  It's like, I have to remember, like, this is really a
• 17:38
  privilege. And I think, I think to a
• 17:41
  certain degree, even with, you know, Web 3 and what we're doing
• 17:44
  with, with meme coins, like we're kind of on the leading
• 17:46
  edge of what's going on right now.
• 17:49
  And shout out to Susie for being a rock.
• 17:53
  There she is. Yeah, Upstairs.
• 17:54
  Susie, I don't know if I think last time you were on she
• 17:58
  wasn't. She has a walkie-talkie now
• 18:00
  where she can call me, but I don't.
• 18:02
  Susie, are you there? Yeah, I don't think she's got
• 18:06
  her walkie-talkie. OK, she's in chat.
• 18:08
  She's watching. She's.
• 18:09
  Oh, she has, Yeah. Yeah, she's the best.
• 18:12
  She all right. You want to say hi to men real
• 18:15
  quick? Hi, Susie.
• 18:16
  Thank you so much for coming on today.
• 18:21
  Of course, thank you yours well, anytime.
• 18:25
  Oh, all right, men. So tell us briefly, right.
• 18:29
  People have a lot of respect for you and some people even call
• 18:35
  you a legend. Who who is men?
• 18:37
  Will you just give our viewer a quick So for those of, for those
• 18:40
  of of the few that don't know who you are, kind of who you
• 18:44
  are? Hi, I'm men.
• 18:47
  I'd say I'm just a kid who who's growing up and just trying to
• 18:51
  have fun, and I think I've had that in me since I was little.
• 18:59
  I'll tell a story though 'cause I think it relates to everything
• 19:01
  else. I was a really good Yu-gi-oh
• 19:04
  player when I was little. I was a Yu-gi-oh player, which
• 19:07
  is like Pokémon cards, but there's collectibles.
• 19:10
  There's a tournament element to it, a playing element.
• 19:14
  And I was ranked 13th or top ten in the world when I was 13 years
• 19:19
  old. And I would just go around the
• 19:21
  world and play tournaments. But I basically made a good
• 19:26
  living off of that, and that's when my parents kept letting me
• 19:29
  do it even though I was super young.
• 19:32
  And so I think that's a lot of who I am now.
• 19:35
  During COVID, I did the same thing with gaming.
• 19:38
  I became a pretty good streamer in Call of Duty Warzone and was
• 19:43
  about to join 100 Thieves, which was my favorite organization at
• 19:46
  the time. And then I saw Crypto, and then
• 19:49
  I completely jumped ship from gaming.
• 19:51
  And then I've done that full time.
• 19:54
  OK. And you're go ahead.
• 19:56
  I'm sorry. Go ahead.
• 19:57
  No, no, that's it. That's it.
• 19:58
  Yeah, so. You're you're into the NFT world
• 20:02
  as well, correct? Yeah, love NFTS.
• 20:05
  OK. I did OK.
• 20:06
  I love NFTSI, love NFTS because they've allowed me to connect
• 20:10
  with really, really amazing people all over the world.
• 20:14
  Yeah. And again, human experience is
• 20:18
  something I'm super bullish on and that I've been asking myself
• 20:23
  and my wife's been asking me, what is what is your goal?
• 20:25
  Like? What is your, when you die, what
• 20:29
  do you want on your tombstone? Right.
• 20:33
  Because yeah, long story, my uncle's basically going through
• 20:37
  some health issues and I've had a lot of conversations with him
• 20:40
  lately about life. And so it's been really nice to
• 20:43
  be reflective on life. But on my tombstone, I would
• 20:47
  love to have loving and fun husband, loving, fun and loyal
• 20:52
  husband. And then my second thing, I
• 20:56
  would love to just be known for helping people live a better
• 21:02
  human experience. I used to think it was stories,
• 21:05
  Ron, when I told you before, I was like, I love stories.
• 21:07
  I love storytelling. Sure, right.
• 21:10
  I I think I, I love just helping people live the best human
• 21:14
  experience. So yeah, that's why I like NFTS,
• 21:18
  because it connects me with amazing people, yeah.
• 21:23
  And it's, it's, it's, it's crazy, isn't it?
• 21:27
  I mean, for me, I'm obviously micro focused on UFD, but there
• 21:33
  are some really great people out there.
• 21:36
  I mean, and I and I have witnessed through the UFD
• 21:39
  community, like all these other relationships.
• 21:44
  I kind of look at it, I don't know if the matrix is the right
• 21:46
  word, but like we got this UFD community and I'm I'm one of the
• 21:51
  nodes, but then there's. Yes.
• 21:53
  Thousands of people. We have the same, yes, I've been
• 21:56
  calling it nodes. Also, I, I think UFD and NFT
• 22:00
  communities are very similar in the sense that, for example, if
• 22:06
  you look at Board Ape or Pudgy or Zuki or whatever other NFT
• 22:11
  community there is or Knowles, right, the people of that
• 22:14
  community are pretty similar with each other.
• 22:17
  And of course you have like different people, like people
• 22:19
  from all around the world, different socioeconomic classes,
• 22:21
  different racial backgrounds, whatever it is.
• 22:24
  But there's common threads in this Venn diagram, right?
• 22:28
  I think UFD is a lot like that. So yeah.
• 22:33
  Yeah, it's like. It's like a little NFTS are the
• 22:34
  best thing. Well, depends.
• 22:36
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 22:40
  I like NFTS though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:43
  And it's, I, I like how you compare the communities because,
• 22:49
  and then even within UFD now we've had like 7 really, and few
• 22:54
  of them, I think successful NFT projects.
• 22:57
  And then they kind of create their own community within the
• 23:01
  community and, and even attract new people, I think into the,
• 23:06
  the UFD meme coin community because of the exposure that the
• 23:09
  NFTS get. Would that would that make
• 23:11
  sense? I'm sorry, my cat is rubbing his
• 23:15
  ass on the ground. Oh no, Eco I ah shit, I think
• 23:24
  he's constipated. Oh no, that's OK.
• 23:31
  So eco stop baby, stop, stop, stop.
• 23:34
  Do you want to see? Yeah, yeah.
• 23:37
  Let's see. This is eco.
• 23:40
  Eco Stop. Hey ego ego boy or girl?
• 23:48
  He's a boy. He's a boy.
• 23:51
  But repeat your question again, Ron, I'm so sorry.
• 23:55
  I just. Said that, that, that, that
• 23:57
  we've had within UFD, we've had it the cutest.
• 24:00
  Thing I've ever. Seen OK, Susie.
• 24:04
  Susie says you're you're. But your.
• 24:06
  Cats, go ahead my. Wife's going to kill me Susie
• 24:10
  when she sees all the poop on the ground.
• 24:13
  We have 3 cats so we I relate. I'm I'm constantly picking
• 24:18
  something up. No, I was just saying that that
• 24:21
  the that our NFT projects and UFDI feel like benefit the
• 24:26
  community because they bring new people into into the UFD
• 24:30
  community. Tricky.
• 24:33
  Yeah, tricky. Tricky.
• 24:36
  Horns up. I don't know.
• 24:39
  So I don't know. I don't know right?
• 24:44
  From my experience, what I've seen is I related to anime
• 24:52
  profile photos 'cause that's what I that's one area that I'm
• 24:55
  in, right? I've seen a lot of people target
• 24:59
  Azuki holders and community even though their project is trash
• 25:03
  and shit. I'm not saying these NFT
• 25:05
  projects are trash and shit, but they understand it's a target
• 25:10
  market and they go like this, right?
• 25:13
  So I don't know if there's anybody new who's buying UFDNFTI
• 25:19
  would think that it's mostly UFD lovers and holders that are
• 25:22
  buying those NFTS so that but that's just a thought.
• 25:26
  That's just an opinion, right? That's either that's neither
• 25:30
  good nor bad, right? But just something to think
• 25:34
  about. I don't think it's bringing that
• 25:35
  many new people in though. OK, interesting.
• 25:38
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 25:40
  And I and I do know that a lot of our UFD holders will then use
• 25:43
  the the NFTS as their PFPS. And it feels like it, it does
• 25:48
  kind of foster some camaraderie within the community as well.
• 25:52
  Yeah, I think the PS are extremely powerful.
• 25:58
  Yeah, it's interesting. Like, I've seen that play out a
• 26:03
  lot, a lot, a lot. And many times a lot of
• 26:07
  community members want to do it to emphasize and uplift the
• 26:10
  communities that they're in. Yeah.
• 26:18
  But there's also a lot of people that think about it in different
• 26:22
  ways. I don't know, I, I feel like if
• 26:24
  you were to do a well, I don't know.
• 26:28
  I don't know. It's, it's interesting, one of
• 26:30
  our community artist, his name's Fruvik.
• 26:33
  He put together a picture and if you, if you're willing, he just
• 26:37
  asked me if I would show it to you briefly and get your we,
• 26:40
  we've got all these artists in our community that are always
• 26:44
  doing all types of different art.
• 26:46
  Some are NF TS, many aren't NF TS.
• 26:48
  Would you, can I pull it up on the screen?
• 26:49
  Would you take a look at it and tell me what you think?
• 26:51
  OK, Let me ask you this. Everybody's saying there's a lot
• 26:54
  of holders that bought the NFTS that did not hold UFD.
• 26:58
  OK. If you're in chat right now and
• 27:02
  you were a non holder and you bought UFD because of the NFT,
• 27:08
  say I did that. Just say I did that.
• 27:10
  That's all I ask. I'm just curious.
• 27:12
  Oh, and, and, and, and you know what men, the other thing that
• 27:15
  I'll mention about the NFT projects is they always are
• 27:20
  structure it in a way that portion and usually a
• 27:24
  significant portion of the revenue they generate goes into
• 27:27
  our UFD like community wallet, marketing wallet.
• 27:32
  So that yeah, that's and, and, and to and to Susie and I often
• 27:38
  time there's a contribution, you know, to help us with our family
• 27:42
  living expenses. I'm.
• 27:44
  Playing devil's advocate. It's OK, I'm.
• 27:48
  Playing devil's advocate doesn't mean dude, that's how you you
• 27:52
  have to attack everything cold and you just look at it like
• 27:55
  this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 27:58
  Let me, let me. I mean, oh, I'm going to pull up
• 28:00
  also here men. So everybody knows if you want
• 28:03
  to follow men on X, it's Men MINHX Dynasty.
• 28:09
  They should be seeing your X page on the screen right now.
• 28:15
  And I wanted to pull. This on the dining room table.
• 28:20
  Oh no. Nico, stop baby, I'll help
• 28:23
  shower you after honey. Tell him we're only going to be
• 28:28
  a few more minutes, so take his hold it the best he can.
• 28:32
  This is one of our artists, Fruvik and he.
• 28:35
  No, I'm also I'm also looking at YouTube chat Susie.
• 28:41
  Can you see? Can you see that on?
• 28:43
  I did see that. Can you see this on your screen?
• 28:46
  This piece of art. Yes.
• 28:50
  He asked me to share that with you because he was a is a huge
• 28:53
  fan of yours and he's done a lot for our community so.
• 28:56
  Thank you brother, I I saw that a retweet is awesome.
• 28:59
  Oh, cool. All right.
• 29:01
  I saw that I think he posted two weeks ago three No no no, he
• 29:06
  post that like 3 weeks ago. I showed that it was beautiful.
• 29:11
  Yeah, it it, it is very cool. Thank you for taking taking a
• 29:14
  look at it. What's what's next for men just
• 29:18
  out of curio, to the extent that you can share with us anything
• 29:21
  you're excited about here coming up in the near future?
• 29:24
  OK, so you remember how I told you about how survival is the
• 29:27
  most important thing and how you have to zoom out and look at
• 29:30
  things from a longer time horizon?
• 29:38
  In my career, I've always done like slow moves, right?
• 29:41
  But I've always loved like huge spikes cause those spikes are
• 29:46
  really great. Like your spike, right?
• 29:49
  In your case, we're like the inception of UFD.
• 29:52
  That was one spike. Second was when you got scammed,
• 29:56
  that's a spike, right? Another one was moon pay.
• 29:59
  That's a spike, right? And certain spikes are louder
• 30:03
  than the others. And in social media you're like,
• 30:06
  you crave those huge spikes. But it is the long game, so I'm
• 30:11
  actually really excited because there's going to be like 2 huge
• 30:14
  spikes soon in my career. Just things that I planned and
• 30:19
  fell into, yeah. So those are what I'm really
• 30:24
  excited about. All right.
• 30:25
  Well, we'll more, more. We'll.
• 30:27
  What's that? Taking bigger risk?
• 30:31
  Yeah, I mean, more will be revealed.
• 30:32
  We'll be excited to watch that. Any any advice you could give to
• 30:38
  the UFD community? Hold on man, Susie's calling me
• 30:42
  again. Yes, I.
• 30:45
  Don't know if it's something he can.
• 30:47
  Answer but someone who's asking. About branding potential over.
• 30:52
  OK. OK.
• 30:53
  Thank you. Yeah, branding potential.
• 30:57
  In what sense? I saw that, Susie.
• 30:59
  I I ignored it 'cause I didn't know what they meant.
• 31:03
  Lane Pin. What do you mean by branding
• 31:05
  potential? In what?
• 31:06
  In what sense? I think maybe because we are
• 31:10
  working on some official IP right now for UFP and, and you
• 31:16
  know, people are excited about the potential for let's say toys
• 31:20
  or potential animated series or things like that.
• 31:25
  Does that does that make sense? Yeah, I think, I think there's
• 31:30
  an insane branding potential that with you and with the
• 31:37
  Unicorn. So yeah, there's many directions
• 31:44
  that you go with. I I think, yeah, OK, there's a
• 31:49
  lot, there's a lot of directions that you go with.
• 31:51
  I would say that you have S2 ingredients for for everything
• 31:54
  when it comes to branding. Yeah, I think, I think we're
• 32:00
  excited about what's going to come here maybe in the next six
• 32:03
  months to a year, but also. Like raising money.
• 32:06
  What's that? Have you thought about like
• 32:08
  raising money with like VCs or investors?
• 32:11
  Not yet, no. We haven't really given that,
• 32:13
  but that's a interesting idea. Yeah, like you could do, I don't
• 32:19
  know if you want to do kids show, but there's so many
• 32:23
  directions that you could go down.
• 32:25
  You could do Jelly Bean. Like I wouldn't make the main
• 32:28
  thing Jelly beans, but I think that you could do.
• 32:32
  You could do endless content that is more depends what you
• 32:37
  want to do with it. You always have fun.
• 32:41
  So as long as you have, I told you this since the first day, as
• 32:44
  long as you have fun and you're doing what you love, UFD will
• 32:47
  prosper and it will benefit from that.
• 32:50
  So the question really comes down to whatever you want to do
• 32:53
  next in the next chapters of your life.
• 32:55
  I think you can integrate UFD into anything that you do.
• 33:00
  Yeah. It has you elevate UFD and UFD
• 33:05
  elevates you. Yeah, it feels that way and that
• 33:08
  and again, that's really because of the community and and the
• 33:13
  ideas that are kind of generated and ideas then that I come up
• 33:16
  with. And I mean I wouldn't be here
• 33:18
  men. I I always have to remember that
• 33:21
  right? Like I put $100 into this and
• 33:24
  and and spawned UFD, but it really exploded because of what
• 33:31
  the community did and continues to do.
• 33:34
  And you know, I think and we do have community members who have
• 33:39
  projects they're working on for different type animated things
• 33:42
  and, you know, merge down the road.
• 33:45
  So I think it will be very, very interesting to see kind of
• 33:51
  organically what this community continues to come up with.
• 33:56
  OK, I'll ask you this because we had another question from Wayne.
• 34:01
  He said if I was wrong, what would I do?
• 34:03
  OK, so I'm gonna ask you this. Cameras off, chat off.
• 34:08
  What do you want to do? Like what do you like in life?
• 34:13
  Not UFD. Let's shelf UFD off to the side.
• 34:17
  You're 55 years old. Let's say that you live for
• 34:20
  another 50 years, OK? Right.
• 34:23
  What do you want on your tombstone?
• 34:26
  Yeah, what I want on my tombstone is to be remembered as
• 34:30
  a reliable person who was a great friend and and who who
• 34:40
  made well, I'd say who made the world a better place.
• 34:43
  But that who that who made the world a better place That by by
• 34:47
  what I'm doing with UFD, my part it's shelf.
• 34:51
  UFD. Yeah, Shelf UFD.
• 34:54
  Shelf UFD. Yeah, so you want to, you want
• 34:57
  to be a good friend? Do you want to make the world a
• 35:00
  better place? I don't think that's cringe at
• 35:02
  all. Right.
• 35:04
  I want to be a better person. OK, great.
• 35:07
  That's not, you know, when I was younger, I used to think that
• 35:09
  was cringe. That's the least cringe thing
• 35:11
  you can do. It's cringe to not try a life.
• 35:15
  OK, The third thing me. Oh yeah.
• 35:20
  Oh, that I, that I'm that I was remembered as somebody who was
• 35:25
  disciplined and showed up. It's funny you say that about
• 35:28
  the guy that said about discipline, 'cause I'm a big.
• 35:31
  Yeah, you are. I talk about discipline every
• 35:33
  day, probably because I struggled with it when I was
• 35:36
  younger and realized as I got older that there's real benefits
• 35:43
  for myself and for the people around me when I remained
• 35:46
  disciplined. And that I, that I, that I set a
• 35:49
  good example right by, by by what my actual, what my actions
• 35:55
  were day in and day out. Not by what I promised, not by
• 35:59
  what I talked about, but by what I did every single day.
• 36:03
  That the people benefited from that and maybe benefited
• 36:08
  directly, but also maybe benefited by by seeing a good
• 36:10
  example. So may I give you suggestion?
• 36:16
  Sure. Also said that.
• 36:18
  Hello Asian, may I give you a suggestion?
• 36:21
  Absolutely I'll. Give you a suggestion.
• 36:24
  I've just forgot the a OK, I would really focus on those
• 36:31
  things and I think you can do So what I OK, OK, we're metaphors
• 36:38
  gone. What would I what would I
• 36:40
  suggest for the business itself, for the IP, for UFT?
• 36:43
  OK, Ron said. I want to be a good friend and I
• 36:46
  want to do good for the world. All right, fuck everything else.
• 36:49
  That's what we're focusing on. UFD.
• 36:52
  What is UFD? Be a good friend, do good for
• 36:56
  the world, OK? With the power of ownership of
• 36:59
  crypto, with the power of community, with the power of
• 37:03
  blockchain, what can I do? What can we do that shows people
• 37:09
  and allows people to be good friends?
• 37:11
  What does that mean to you? What does that mean to the
• 37:14
  community? OK, answer that question
• 37:16
  together then. How do we positively impact the
• 37:20
  world in good ways? UFD is an extension of yourself,
• 37:23
  and UFD will only grow if you grow, right?
• 37:27
  So I would just answer those two questions over and over and over
• 37:31
  again. And everything that that answers
• 37:36
  you do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:40
  If it, if it, if it am I not. Does this help me not be a good
• 37:44
  friend? This is not directly impact the
• 37:47
  world in a good way. I'm not doing it.
• 37:50
  I don't care. You shouldn't care because
• 37:54
  dependable. You said reliable, right?
• 37:57
  Yeah. OK, I get you.
• 37:59
  Reliable for other people. But the most important person
• 38:02
  that you should be reliable for is.
• 38:06
  Yeah, right. I tell my daughters that all the
• 38:09
  time, like the the the most important person for you to be
• 38:12
  friends with is yourself. And sorry to interject that,
• 38:15
  but. Not a SO being a good friend
• 38:20
  also means being a good friend to yourself, right?
• 38:23
  Making the world a better place is making your world a better
• 38:26
  place. Being reliable means being
• 38:28
  reliable to yourself. All those three things I think
• 38:32
  are very important in the ethos of UFD.
• 38:36
  Yeah, and keep, keep it. You know, men, every day when I
• 38:39
  sign off on my live, there's things I try to do during every
• 38:42
  live stream. I usually forget two or three of
• 38:45
  them. But without exception, when I
• 38:47
  when I end the live stream every day, I always tell people be
• 38:51
  good to yourself first. Be good to yourself first
• 38:54
  because that gives you a platform from which to be good
• 38:57
  to other people and, you know, and be honest, right.
• 39:01
  I mean, nobody's perfect. I'm not going to send yourself
• 39:04
  I've had a perfect life, men, but you know, since I started
• 39:09
  UFD and before I started UFD, What's that?
• 39:13
  We've had perfect lives. Yeah, right.
• 39:16
  Yeah, perfect, Perfectly imperfect, but yeah, great life.
• 39:19
  But just do the. It's so much easier to do the
• 39:24
  right thing and to and to follow your heart.
• 39:27
  And you know, UFD has been and I know you got to go.
• 39:30
  So I'll, I'll be quick, but UFD has been a huge reinforcement of
• 39:35
  that idea for me because I didn't know anything about
• 39:39
  crypto. I knew nothing.
• 39:40
  You know that right on December 15th, nothing.
• 39:44
  On December 16th, I spawned UFD, started this thing and I was
• 39:49
  faced with constant opportunities where there were
• 39:53
  forks in the road. And I always kind of followed my
• 39:57
  moral compass, my sense of right and wrong.
• 40:00
  Like I didn't know anything about crypto, but I knew right
• 40:03
  from wrong. And I, and I always, just like
• 40:06
  I've done for a while in my life, continued to do the right
• 40:09
  thing. And it it's just it in the end,
• 40:12
  I think it pays internally and externally big dividends to do
• 40:18
  that. Yep, always.
• 40:21
  I think it's inspiring. You're inspiring, Ron.
• 40:24
  Wow, thank you buddy. I know you got to run, but it's
• 40:28
  been really. Great.
• 40:29
  We'll talk again soon and ask you more about the things that
• 40:35
  you're doing when it comes to those three things.
• 40:37
  But guys, the the last thing that I'll say is please, Ron
• 40:42
  gives a lot to you. Actually.
• 40:44
  They know this. The community also gives a lot
• 40:47
  of themselves to you. And I think everybody's
• 40:52
  attracted to UFD because of these ethos.
• 40:54
  Otherwise it would just you just be focused on a price and you
• 40:57
  just look at that thing all day like this and you'd go insane,
• 41:01
  right? And some people may be doing
• 41:05
  this right. But hey, as long as we're doing
• 41:08
  good along the way, it's a lot of fun, right?
• 41:11
  Horns up. Horns up.
• 41:13
  So I'll say those three things that Ron's gonna focus on for
• 41:17
  the rest of his life. I'd advocate for you guys to
• 41:21
  focus on those three things for your lives and give little bits
• 41:26
  of energy together into UFD that really encompasses that because
• 41:30
  that is something that you can, you know, breed and spawn and
• 41:34
  continue for the rest of your lives.
• 41:36
  Yeah, and it can spread all over the world, right?
• 41:40
  I mean, horns up. Thank you man.
• 41:44
  Thank you for your time. Bye guys all.
• 41:45
  Right buddy, see you next time. Man, see ya.
• 41:48
  Thanks. Buddy.
• 41:49
  All right, bye. Bye bye.
